"None of us want to be forgotten, none of us want our loved ones to be forgotten and in this situation they're memorialized forever," said Ken Kreuter, whose son was among the fallen.

The traveling memorial has become a healing tool for thousands of families and veterans.

"When you walk away, for some reason you feel a little bit better, a little bit more involved, a little bit more informed about what it requires to defend a nation," said the memorial's director, Mike Strahle.

The memorial will be open to the public from Wednesday through Saturday evening at the Miami Township Community Building.

The Sgt. David Kreuter Memorial Highway will be dedicated at 11 a.m. Saturday on Bridgetown Road.
